National Republican., 1887-12-10


No organization, political or social, or
combination Of both, ever started out with
brighter prospects than did the Republican
National League, whose headquarters are
situated ON Thomas Circle. No sooner did
the promoters make public their plans than
the solid Republicans Of the District moved
right into their councils aud organized what
10 designed TO be and what ultimately will
be the Republican organization OF the coun-
try. The foundations were laid with care
by men OF experience In national politics,
and the result has been the building OF po-
liticai league, the power OF which will be
beyond estimate.
The structure in which the League has
established itself is one OF the finest and
most commodi0us In city where beautiful
residences are by no means rare. In this
club home have assembled and will con.
unue to assemble some Of the brightest, and
most powerful leaders of the Republican
party, and II is but question Of time when
every Republican OF means will be mem
Der Of the League.
